Eudora Sucks on a Mac
Strong words, but that has been my experience. I started with Mac Mail,
decided that I should stick to my regular Eudora (which I've used on
Windows ever since I got a POP enabled email address), but have gone
back to Mail now.
The Eudora Mac interface sucks big time. The fonts look weird. Even if
I select the same viewing font in Eudora that I did in Mail, it looks
really odd there. And what's up with that <snip> thing it does in
the preview window ? OK ... maybe it's good, but I have to double click
every-time I have to follow a thread. There should be an option of
turning it off. I can turn it off by saying 'None' for the compact
options, but then it starts spitting out email headers also !!! Also,
if I double click and open a message, it selects everything by default
so a single key stroke just deletes the whole content and I have to do
a CMD-Z to get it back.
So, I finally made the decision to say goodbye to Eudora (which has
really served me so well so far on Windows). The ads in the sponsored
mode are a bit more intrusive on a Mac compared to Windows, since the
ad window is floating, and that was another reason. Mac Mail is free
and has everything I want.
